AR Sandbox

Powered by GemPy

3D visual intuition is a key skill for understanding geology and related processes. Most conventional teaching methods and tools to communicate geological complexities rely on 2D media such as maps and profiles. This comes with a high level of abstraction that poses a comprehension challenge for students and non-experts. 3D geological intuition is trained by practice, but field courses require time, organizational efforts and are often expensive.
